13 Southern Thanksgiving recipes for a spread that covers every inch of the sideboard

Thanksgiving side dishes can crowd the oven and leave the sideboard feeling like a puzzle. This lineup brings together Southern staples, from cornbread and biscuits to vegetable casseroles, three mac-and-cheese options, and a classic pie. The recipes cover different schedules too, with quick deviled eggs alongside slow cooker macaroni and dishes that can be assembled ahead. Choose the ones that suit your menu, then make room for one more serving spoon. k9a 4=2DDlQHA\3=@4<\9625:?8Qmr@C?3C625 $EF77:?8k^9am k7:8FC6 4=2DDlQHA\3=@4<\:>286 D:K6\=2C86Qmk:>8 DC4lQ9EEADi^^7@@55C:?<=:76]4@>^HA\4@?E6?E^FA=@25D^a_ad^`a^$>2==0$2G@CJ\r@C?3C625\$EF77:?8]\]A?8Q 2=ElQp >6E2= DA2EF=2 =:7ED 2 D6CG:?8 @7 32<65 DEF77:?8 E@AA65 H:E9 49@AA65 A2CD=6J 7C@> 2 H9:E6 42DD6C@=6 5:D9]Q 52E2\A:?\>65:2lQ9EEADi^^7@@55C:?<=:76]4@>^HA\4@?E6?E^FA=@25D^a_ad^`a^$>2==0$2G@CJ\r@C?3C625\$EF77:?8]\]A?8Q H:5E9lQ`__TQ ^mk7:842AE:@? 4=2DDlQHA\6=6>6?E\42AE:@?Qmr@C?3C625 $EF77:?8] !9@E@ 4C65:Ei |J #6=:23=6 #64:A6D]k^7:842AE:@?mk^7:8FC6m kA 4=2DDlQHA\3=@4<\A2C28C2A9Qmw6C3\D46?E65 H:E9 2 4C:DA E@A[ kDEC@?8mr@C?3C625 $EF77:?8k^DEC@?8m 8:G6D E96 9@=:52J A=2E6 2 72>:=:2C 2?49@C] %96 C64:A6 >2<6D `a D6CG:?8D 2?5 E2<6D ` 9@FC a_ >:?FE6D[ H:E9 4F365 4@C?3C625[ @?:@?[ 46=6CJ[ D286[ C@D6>2CJ[ A2CD=6J[ 3C@E9[ 2?5 688D :?
